"Please don't try to lecture me on respect for storms or tell me that there is something WRONG with going to the beach to collect shells after a storm. OK?"

While you are there digging through the remnants of peoples lives for shells, remember to wear a mask to protect you from the smell of the devastation. I wouldn't want you to get sick.

You obviously have never lived through a South FLA hurricane.
"Remnants of people's lives" don't end up on the beaches. The beaches end up in the remnants of people's homes.
